%or ....v........ PORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL' S-YESTERDAY. The absence of many of the principal speculators at the Liverpool Races occasioned the muster to be thin, and the betting flat. The only change worth alluding to particularly was in Hornsea, who was backed at 5 to 2, and had two or three friends very anxious to get on. The business transacted was confined to the following horses : THE GOODWOOD CUP, P.P.-FRIDAY NEXT. 5 to 2 agst Lord Chesterfield's Hornsea—taken GOODWOOD STAKES, P.P.-THURSDAY NEXT. 9 to 2 agst Mr. Theobald's Rockingham—taken 7 to 1 agst Mr. Osbaldeston's Rush 10 to 1 agst Duke of Richmond's Pussy—take 10 to 1 12 to 1 agst Mr. Kingston's Oberon 18 to 1 agst Mr. Rush's two, Taglioni and Roadster—taken 20 to 1 agst Mr. Forth's Louisa Lord Tavistock has declared that Oak Apple will not go for this Stakes. DONCASTER ST. LEGER. 10 to 1 agst Colonel Westenra's Wedge—take 18 to 1 2.5 to 1 agst Mr. Blakelock's Black Diamond—take 30 to 1 LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING, WEDNESDAY. The weather this afternoon was fairer and warmer than yes terday, and the company immense ; the Cup Race excited in tense interest, and terminated in a manner little expected, Birdlime being considered rather badly in.

Turner's c. by Blackbird Sir T. Stanley's Japhet 3 7 to 4 on c. by Teniers. The running for the first three quarters of a mile was made by Blackbird at a slow pace : colt by Teniers then took it up at first rate speed, put his horses in difficulty at the distance, and won easy by a length. The Tradesmen's Cup, a Piece of Plate, value 200 sovs. ' with 100 Boys. added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft., and 5 only if declared on or before the Ist of March.

The lot got off at the first attempt, De Roos having a triffng lead, with Miss Whip, Verbena, Mundig, and Promise at his quarters, and the rest clustered together at their heels. De Roos made very poor running for about half the distance, when Stockport went in front, followed by Mundig, De Roos lying with them. At the Bridge turn the pace increased, and the string began to lengthen. Stockport kept his advantage round the last turn, General Chasse, Birdlime, Oswald, and 'Longinus drawing upon him all the way up to the distance, - where Chasse took the lead, but for a moment only, as Dar ling brought up his mare, and the General, after a good deal of " corporal punishment," was defeated cleverly by a length. Stockport was third, Longinus fourth, and Oswald fifth ; a long tail behind, with Verbena and the Purity colt at the ex treme end of it. Run in three minutes and thirty-five seconds.

THE THAMES YACHT SAILING MATCH . Considerable anxiety prevails relative to the disposal of the silver cup, which was sailed for on Monday last by the Wave, Gem, Maria, and Alarm. It is customary, by the laws of this distinguished club, to present the prize to the captain of the victorious boat on the evening after the contest, unless a protest be put in, signed by a majority of the captains who sailed in 'the contest. On this occasion the protest against the delivery of the cup to J. Christian, Esq., was put in, and the prize necessarily with held by W. Harrison, the commodore. The protest sets forth that the Wave exceeds her entered tonnage (ten), and that as the first class is not allowed to exceed that, she is not entitled to the cup. Some observations were made at a late meeting of the club relative to the size of this yacht, and two letters were handed in by Mr. Christian from persons who are in the habit of measuring the boats, each of which rated her under nine and a half. The affair then passed off, and had the Wave been the second boat in on Monday instead of the first, there is no doubt that her tonnage would not have been dis puted. A special meeting of the Club will be called, and in the interim the yacht measured by the proper authorities. Most of the bets have been paid. LOYAL BRITONS' GRAVESEND MATCH.—The Silver Cup and Cover, given by the Gravesend Society denominated the Loyal Britons, will be sailed for on Monday next. They will start from Mr. Graddish's Wharf at Gravesend, proceed round the Nore Light, from thence round a boat moored off North fleet, and round the Princess Royal, moored off the Custom house. It will be contested by hatch boats carrying unlimited sail. The following are named :—The Harriet, 16 tons ; the William and Mary, 16 tons ; the Morning Star, 18 tons ; the Lady Melville, 19 tons; the Maria, 16 tons; the Jane, 20 tons ; and the Industry, 17 tons. The entertainments will not conclude here. There will be a rowing match and a duck hunt. The rowing match will be with short ferry boats. We are not aware how this part of the day's sport will be arranged. It certainly has the claim of novelty. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank stock ... per Ccnt.

HEINE BROTHERS CONTRACTORS, in HAMBURG. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o'Cloch. p - G'.--'<, _..',..rr.-*I; tiik - ze" itrib e , LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 22, 1836. The second reading of the Post-Office Bill took place in the House of Commons last night. As the question was not brought forward till after eleven o'clock, Mr: WALLAcE, at the suggestion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, withdrew the series of resolutions of which he had given notice— tightly judging that were he to persevere in having them moved from the Chair, they would give rise to a debate which might prevent the second reading of the Bill for a week longer, and thus, perhaps, render the passing of the Bill, during the pre sent Session, absolutely impossible. We cordially approve of the course taken by the Hon. Member for Greenock, in not pressing the last three of his Resolutions. He is already aware that we dis approved of them from the first ; and we think, with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that the others are properly subjects for the considera tion of the Commissioners, though it might prevent much misundmtanding, were some of them embodied in the Act now before the House. The speech of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER must have wito uished those Honourable and Right Hon. Gentlemen who, for the last ten years, have never once opened heir mouths about the Post-office without lauding it to the skies as the best conducted and most efficient Establishment on the face of the earth. To intimate that there was anything wrong in this Department of the public service was five years ago almost as great a crime as to fall foul of Magna Charta, the Bill of and the Act of Settlement. It was then im maculate, and so expeditious that it could compete in swiftness with a woman's thought. What is it now ? Why, we have the assurance of a Minister of the Crown ; delivered in the hearing of Parliament, that the system of carrying on the business of the Post-office is both ineffective and indefensible ; that it. was from the first highly improper that the control of the Establishment should be vested in a political officer of the Crown, removable at any moment with the Cabinet of which he formed a part ; and the Post-Masters-General so appointed did not know, and consequently could not discharge the functions with which they were entrusted ! When we first broached this doctrine about six years ago, there was an outcry raised against us throughout the country. Letters poured in upon us—all contradicting our statements, and some of them imputing to us unworthy motives for having made them. For a time we were obliged to desist. In the meantime enquiries were instituted ; honest and independent men resolved to bring the question before Parliament ; and it is but justice to the Hon. Member for Greenock to assert, that of these lie was by far the most persevering and indefatigable. The result is now the exposure of the grossest system of fraud and ineffi ciency ever carried on with impunity in the face of a great commercial nation. - We highly approve of the plan for vesting the management of the Post-office in Commissioners, re sponsible to Parliament. We are ourselves of opi nion that five will be more efficient—that is, leaving three as a Board in London, the other two to reside alter nately in Dublin and Edinburgh. The period of alternate residence in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin must be rendered imperative, otherwise each of the Commis sioners will not be equally qualified to discharge the duties of all, which is the great object desired. Mr. LABOUCHERE proposed that the Chief Commissioner should have a seat in Parliament. If the Right Hon. Gentleman meant that such Commissioner should sit there, as the Representative of a constituenc), we consider that the same objection may be made to his proposal as the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER makes to the Postmaster-General being a Member of the Government—the Commissioner so sitting being liable to removal by his constituents. But if he mean that such Commissioner should sit in Parliament in virtue of his office alone, we presume the Crown Lawyers can readily inform him that the House has no power to concede such a privilege, without violating the Con stitution. No man can have a claim to sit in Parliament who does not represent the people. We shall reserve all further observations on this question till Mr. LABOUCHERE brings it regularly before the House. The Agricultural-relief people have got themselv es at last int o as p retty a mess as one nee d wish to see. Nothing would satisfy them but a Committee of In quiry to investigate the causes of that agricultural dis tress which, they said, overspread the land, and to find out means of relief to the poor farmer, and the still poorer labourer. They tramped the country from north to south—from east to west—to get up an agri cultural agitation. Associations were formed in the counties. A grand association was established in the metropolis, which was to communicate with the provincial branches, and from which the whole con centrated influence of the landlords was to be made to bear upon the Government. It was in vain to urge xpon them that the landlords had the obvious and the only remedy for tl.e evil in their own hands, namely, the reduction of rent ; and that until that remedy had been tried and had failed, it was very absurd, and not a little indecent, to apply to Parliament for relief. This reasoning was by no means in unison either with the feelings or the pockets of the landlords, whose drift, as all the world knows, has all along been to shift the burden from their own shoulders, no matter where it falls. No, they would listen to no advice. The Report of a Committee was the one thing needful, and a Committee they would have. They rested neither day nor night, until they had driven Ministers into an acquiescence with their wishes. Well, they got their Committee—a Committee, too, chosen after their heart's content, abounding in Tories and landlords, and to work they set to hear evidence as to agricultu ral distress—not very difficult to be procured, it might be supposed, from their statement. The Committee has sat five hours a day for the last five months, and what do our readers imagine is the result of all this labour ? Why the agricultural mountain has not brought forth even a mouse. There is to be no Re port !! ! This is the upshot of all the senseless clamour that has been raised about agricultural distress and Parliamentary relief. The whole thing has ended, as everybody foresaw it would end, in a bottle of smoke. The truth of the matter is this—the evidence laid before the Committee so completely overthrew their favourite doctrine—so triumphantly established the fact that there is no such agrictulural distress as they had asserted—so clearly proved that the labourers, who form the great mass of the agricultural com munity, are much better off' than ever they have been before, and that the farmers have nothing to complain of but high rents—all these important points were so fully made out by the evidence, that the only way the Committee could hide their discomfiture, was to give the go by to the Report. And how do they pretend to a ccoun t f or so extraordinary a proceeding ? By a miserable subterfuge, or rather by two miserable subterfuges, at variance with each other. First, they try to lay the blame upon the Government, because a Cabinet Minister was not made Chairman of the Committee, as if that could have altered the nature of the evidence ; secondly, they sav that any report that they could have made would have injured the cause for which the Committee was appointed, which is neither more nor less than giving up the whole ques tion of agricultural distress, as far as its relief depends on Parliament. The Report would no doubt have very materially injured " the cause," that is to say, it would have damaged the landlords by exposing the hollowness of their pretensions, and the utter falsehood of the statements which they have been putting forth so long to deceive the public. It is not to be forgotten that the motion for making no Report was made by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and seconded by the Most Noble the Marquis of CHAN DOS—par excellence! the farmers' friend—to whom we may now say, " Solvuntur risu tabulee, to missus abibis." There was a brief discussion last night in the House of Commons on the subject of the new Houses of Parliament, which was introduced by Mr. HumE, who moved that an address be presented to his MA JESTY, to the effect that he would be pleased to direct a further competition of designs without limits as to the style of architecture, and that such designs should be exhibited before Commissioners, who should report on them. The Hon. Member's chief objection to Mr. BARRY'S plan seemed to be that the internal accommoda tions of the new Houses were not sufficiently attended to. This is certainly a grave objection, and one that requires to be well considered ; but if, as Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE expressly says, 64 Mr. BARRY'S plan is capable of great internal improvements, without any change in the external elevation, and that none of the other plans, as far as internal arrangement is con cerned, can be adopted consistently with his external design," we think a sufficient case has been made out for giving Mr. BARRY'S design the preference, espe cially as all parties agree in doing justice to the grace and beauty of its exterior. After a few sensible re marks from Sir ROBERT PEEL, Mr. HUME'S motion was withdrawn. The Paris papers of Wednesday contain no news of any great moment, with the exception of the following, official communication which appears in the Journal de Paris.-- " The Carlist division, commanded by General Gomez, entered Oviedo on the 6th, and having levied a heavy contri bution, marched on the next day towards Galicia. Generals Espartero and Alanso, the first from the Basque provinces, and the second from Old Castile, reached Oviedo the day after the Carlists had left it. Espartero, with twelve battalions, went in pursuit of Gomez, who had to cross several unfordable rivers before he could enter Galicia, and who, it is affirmed, would find on the frontier of the province a corps of troops ready to dispute his passage. The Portuguese brigade, which forms the reserve of the Queen's troops, entered Leon on the 6th. General Cordova arrived on the 15th at Vittoria. O❑ the same day he sent off to Logrono four battalions, in pur suit of a Carlist division which had entered the province of Soria." The Courrier Francais also contains an important announcement, which we copy, though we have fears as to its entire authenticity : " Commandant De Pellion, cne of the Aides-de-camp of the Minister of War, has just been sent off to the frontier of Spain, to ascertain, it is said, what measures are necessary to bring the contest with the Carlists to an end, the Government hav ing at last determined to take a decided part in the war which is devouring Spain, with whom France has become an ally since the Treaty of Aptil 22. Captain Chasseloup, another Aide-de-Camp of the Minister, has taken his departure for Algiers. It appears that he carries out orders for the re cruitment of the Foreign Legion serving in Spain." PARIS, JULY 19.-13E1I0BIE, JULY 15.—A1l yesterday morn ing we heard a brisk fire.of musketry and cannonade in the direction of Irun. In the course of the day, the garrison of tl s fort of the Tete-de-pont made a sally for the purpose of demolishing the house of. the Carlist of Irun, named Francisco Martin, which is almost contiguous to the gate of the fort. This open t'on was executed without the slightest attempt of the Carlists to prevent it ; only towards seven o'clock in the evening some musket shots were fired from the house of Sis tiaga, but:the workmen had retired. BAYONNE, JULY 16.—Gomez has, in fact, succeeded in en tering Gallicia. E s p ar t ero h av i ng left 6,000 of his troops with Manso, Captain-General of Old Castile, has returned to Vittoria. Manso is gone to Oveido, where he will assemble a Corps de Reserve. It is thought that the Portuguese division, which has proceeded from Zamosa by forced marches, may yet com pel the rebels to retreat. On the 4th Caston, with three battalions and two squadrons, made an incursion into the valley of Mina. He retired to Aquendo and Stodio, after carrying off all the cattle of the country. It is affirmed that the Canon Batanero has entered the mountains of Oca, which extends to Burgos. He is said to be at the head of an expedition, the object of which is to harrass General Manso.

It was expected, however, that the funds would have gone down lower on ac count of the decline in English Consols, and the news from Spain. The Three per Cents. opened at 80f. 45c., were done at 80f. 35c., and are now 80f. 40c. sellers. Spanish Active Stock has been done at 38k, and is now 38-11, with little business.

The following is a translation of the SULTAN'S order for the dismissal of the REIS EFFENDI addressed to the Grand VISIER, and published in the Turkish Gazette of the 28th ult.:— " My Visier,—Considering that the Department of Foreign Affairs is one of great importance and responsibility, requir ing unremitting assiduity on the part of the person intrusted with its direction, I lately thought proper to elevate this functionary to the rank of Moorshir, and considerably to in crease his salary. Akif Effendi, however, not having been able, in consequence of the ailing state of his health, to attend as regularly as is requisite to the duties of this office, I have considered it necessary to remove him from this situation, and to appoint in his stead Ahmet Koloussi Pasha. " Thou shalt bring the latter into thy presence, and after acquainting him with my imperial order, and solemnly in vesting him with the mantle of honour, give him clearly to understand that my supreme will is, that he shall every day come to the Sublime Porte to attend (may God enlighten him) to his duty, and watch with special care over the scru pulous observance of the treaties and conventions existing be tween our glorious empire and foreign states. " Considering that Akif Effendi is an ancient servant, I grant him a monthly pension of 10,000 piasters, and order thee to take care that this sum shall regularly be paid him by the Treasury. " May the Almighty assist thee and all my servants." All doubts as to the positive disgrace of the late REIS EFFENDI by the SULTAN must•vanish upon a perusal of this document. The SULTAN clearly states that the official duties of Foreign Minister were neglected ; and he grants a pension to the discharged Minister, not on account of the efficiency, but of the length of his services. The pension is a boon—a charitable allowance for the maintenance of a helpless old man ; not a remuneration for services entitling him to such reward. The paternal forms observed by the Ottoman Government will serve to explain afv - ay much of the apparent want of courtesy in the order of dis missal ; the Porte generally pensioning off its dependants on nearly the same terms, and almost from the same humane motives, as the old families in England pen sion off their superannuated domestics. But still where the object of the imperial bounty has not fallen under the displeasure of the " Shadow of the Apostle of God," it is usual to praise his past zeal and ge neral efficiency, and to state that his retirement is a voluntary act. Several intelligent Franks at Constantinople con sider that Lord PONSONBY ought to insist upon the dismissal of AHMED PACHA ; and much anxiety prevails as to whether England will be sa tisfied with the concessions already made. We think she ought, more especially as the Courts of Vienna, St. Petersburg, Paris, and Berlin all regard the dismissal of the late REIS EFFENDI as the act of Lord PoNsoNBY. Upon this subject even the Rus sian Ambassador has sought not to conceal his con viction. The removal of AHMED PACHA would give a great blow to Russia, and therefore the measure would be popular with a great many persons here ; but we ought not to forget the justice of the demand in an anticipation of its favourable consequences. No pro posed end can ever sanctify the evil means. Russia appears in no haste to evacuate Silistria. Her army still retains possession of the garrisons, arid she has upwards of forty thousand troops on the frontier. The launch of a fine new ninety-gun ship took place at Raillee, a Turkish arsenal on the Black Sea, on the 25th ult. Another new vessel, still larger, was on the stocks. Dutch and German Papers of the latest dates have been received. The Chief of the Society of the Jesuits is negotiating with the King of BAVARIA for the restoration of the Order in hiS Majesty's dominions. The KING has already restored the Benedictines ; and as ,the Jesuits have . offered to undertake the gratuitous instruction of the Bavarian youth of all classes, the Journals state that the KING is disposed to hearken to the proposal thus made to him. Paragraphs from the other Journals will be found elsewhere. HAMBURG BORSEN HALLE, JULY 16. FOREIGN FUNDS. Ellis. Money. Austrian Metalliques, 5 per cent. Ditto ditto 4 per cent.

The Lemmer, Semmet, from Amsterdam to Genoa, has arrived at Helvoet, with loss of mainmast. We hear that there is actually a Company which undertakes to convey travellers from London to Paris for 9s. There are at the present time 158 ships loading at Liverpool ; 33 of them arc f or A mer i ca , an d the others are destined for other parts of the world. An American Paper states that the fashionable damsels of Philadelphia wear their dresses so tight about their shoulders that they are obliged to unhook them to sneeze. The long-wished for bridge across the ferry between Weymouth and Portland is about to be carried into effect. Mr. •••• • W. White, of that island, is the contractor, and the foundation stone is to be laid 'next week, and the work completed in about twelve months. POSTPONEMENT OF THE KING OF PRUS SIA'S VISIT TO THE RHENISH PROVINCES.—There have been various reports in the journals respecting the intention of the King of Prussia, to visit the Rhenish provinces in the autumn. The official journals of Munster of the 16th contain the fol lowing letter from his Majesty, addressed to the Chief Presi dent, Baron Von Vincke :—" I have for several years enter tained a wish again to see the western provinces of my king dom, which I have not revisited for these 11 years, and to make myself personally acquainted with their present condi tion ; the more, therefore, do I regret that obstacles which cannot be removed have arisen, that prevent me from convey ing my intentions into effect. I have, therefore, appointed my son, the Crown Prince, to review the 7th corps of the army, and he will, at the same time, make himself personally ac quainted with the situation of the Province. You will take care to make this known." A letter was yesterday received at Lloyd's from the Foreign Office, stating that the wreck of a vessel was dis covered to the north of the island of Madeira on the 14th ult., with the name " Majestic, of Sunderland," painted on the stern. The following is the description given :—" On the 14th instant (June) the vicar Carvalho, of the parish of Ponta Delgada, having discovered a wreck three leagues from the shore, proceeded to it along with Senor Jose d'Abrero, and with their boats towed it to the village of Porta da Cruz, on the north-east side of the island, where they grounded it on the beach. On examination she was found to be as follows—. viz. : A water-logged brig, of about 280 to 300 tons, with Majestic, of Sunderland, painted in yellow letters over her stern.' She had no deck, but was entire from the wales down wards ; was not coppered, and without figure head. She bad two white stripes on her sides, was from 80 to 90 feet long, and had about 25 to 28 feet breadth of beam. She appeared to have been some time in a state of wreck, and part of her cargo had been washed out ; but there still remained in her hold about 300 beams or logs of pine and oak wood, and from 1,000 to 2,000 oak staves for dunnage." FIRE. —On Tuesday morning last a fire broke out on the premises of a brewer and malster, at St. Ives. The whole of the brewery, with the utensils, were destroyed. It extended to several other houses, and the loss of property is very great. Three staks of hay and upward of 100 tons of straw, belonging- to Mr. Leekings, who lived at a considerable distance from the spot where the fire broke out, were entirely consumed. The damage in the whole is estimated at upwards of 4,0001. The Sub-Committee and General Committee for managing the affairs of Drury-lane Theatre will meet next week at the theatre, preparatory to the annual meeting of the proprietors, to whom the arrangements proposed for the next year will be submitted for their consideration. LITERATURE. THE ENGLISH HOUSEKEEPER. Cobbett, London, 1836. There is in this little volume all the good sense we should expect from one whose father was the late Mem ber for Oldham. The introductory remarks, in parti cular, have not a little of his peculiar shrewdness, and are expressed in that clear, forcible, and straightforward manner which lent such a charm to the Political Regis ter. Miss Cobbett tells us that her Cookery Book is not intended for the use of epicures, for that she is not a sufficiently scientific gastronomist to edify ; them, but for a plain, industrious, family, in middling circum stances, and who move in the middle walks of life. With this class her Book is likely to become popular, for it is the result of long practical experience in the mysteries of house-keeping. FINE ARTS. We have just been favoured with the sight of an Engraving taken from Stothard's well-known painting of " Chaucer's Canterbury Pilgrims." It is finished in the most chaste and graceful manner, and is an ad mirable imitation of the basso relievo style—so admi rable, indeed, that is almost impossible to believe that it is upon a flat surface. Though the Engraving is considerably abridged in size, yet the characters, which are numerous, are all most happily discriminated. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MASTER of the RoLLs was occupied this morning in hearing consent petitions. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) TAYLOR V. TAYLOR. Sir C. WETHERELL applied in this case for a writ of Ha beas Corpus, directed to the defendants, to deliver up their father, the plaintiff. From the statement of the Learned Counsel, it appeared that the plaintiff, who was a person ad vanced in years, was possessed of two sums of stock amount ing to upwards of 5,0001. Sometime since he transferred that stock into the name of himself and his son Richard, as trustee for him. By this means the defendants obtained con trol over the stock, and a bill was filed for the purpose of obtaining a decree, directing the defendants to re-transfer that stock into the name of the plaintiff: It was alleged, that for the purpose of preventing the prosecution of the suit, the defendants had prevailed upon the plaintiff, their father, to dine with them at Islington, representing that a good singer would be present, and that when they had got him there they might keep him out of the way. According to the affidavits on the evening of the day in which the plaintiff dined with the defendants, one of them wrote to his sister thus : " DEAR POLLY,—My father will stop all night. He is very comfortable, and you need not sit up for him ;"—(Laughter) and other affidavits stated that it was believed the defendants had taken possession of the plaintiff for the purpose of pre venting the prosecution of the suit. Under these circum stances, the present application became necessary for the purpose of compelling the defendants to deliver up to plaintiff, in order that the suit might be prosecuted. The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought there was quite enough stated in the affidavits to warrant the Court in interfering, and directed the writ to issue returnable on Wednesday next. His HONOUR having proceeded through the paper, rose shortly before one o'clock. THE FUNDS.--(THIS I)AY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are the French and a Dutch mails, with ship letters from St. Helena and China; from St. Sebastian, Oporto, Antigua, and Valparaiso. We have received Charleston Papers to the 25th of June. They state—" The steam-packet Dolphin arrived from St. Augustine. General Clinch was unwilling to assume the command in Florida—his motive in visiting Florida being to remove his Negroes." The following is an extract of a letter from St. Augustine:— No news of the Indians since their repulse at Micanapy. Major Hileaman had arrived here safe with the baggage train." " TEX AS. —The Texean armed schooner, Independence, seven days from Velasco Texas, anchored below the point, and fired a salute of 13 guns. P. W. Grayson and James Collingsworth, Esq., came in her passengers. These gentlemen are clothed with full powers to negotiate with our Government for a recog nition of the independence of Texas, and will leave to-morrow for Washingto❑ city with that view. From these gentlemen we learn that an armistice had been entered into between the Texean and Mexican Commanders-in-Chief; and that the remains of the Mexican army are on the opposite side of the Rio Grande, rejoicing doubtless at their escape from the Texeans. Santa Anna remains strongly guarded at Velasco ; he will be detained there with the other prisoners, until com munications shall be received from the Mexican Government, if Congress has not ere this recognised the independence of Texas. We entertain but little doubt as to its consummation, upon the arrival at Washing - ton of the Commissioners." Canton Papers have been received to the 9th March. The cases of riot in Poninghecn appear to have been very serious. It was reported that one civil and two military officers, and a number of soldiers and police runners, were killed. COMMERCIAL REMARKS. IMPORTS. COTTON.-The clearance from the warehouses have been to a considerable extent during the week ; but we have not heard of any operation of importance in the market. The Bombay staple is said to be more difficult of sale, while the Bengal is in fair demand. In cotton piece goods no alteration in price, though the demand is favourable. Cotton yarn has improved. OPIUM.—No arrangement being yet made with the Manda rines for the boat fees, few transactions have occurred during the week. We do not hear of any sales being made in the new drug, but Malwa has been offered at 535 dollars per chest, deliverable on the arrival of the Sir Herbert Compton, hourly expected. Quicksilver still remains at a high price. Tin plates are still declining. EXPORTS. For silk piece goods, high prices have lately been demanded. In Teas, scarcely any remaining in the Market, excepti►,g a few Young Hysons, of middling and inferior qualities. THE FUNDS. Consols are rather heavy this morning, owing to the Court of Directors of the Bank of England having given notice late yesterday afternoon, that the interest on Bills of Exchange, and notes discounted by the Bank, be advanced to 41 per cent. per annum. This has rather caused some sensation in the City, particularly among the monied interest. It is a measure supposed to be taken to prevent money going out of the country. Consols, which closed yesterday at 91+, receded to 90 91, at which, (price they are at present. Exchequer Bills, 10 12 ; India Bonds, par. ; Bank Stock, 2111 2121- ; India 'Stock, 2.573 ; 2581. Spanish Active very heavy, owing to their coming 1 per cent. lower from Paris—done at 37 1 38 , - Passive 111 ; 4 Three per Cents., 474 481. HALF-PAST ONE. The Glasgow steamer has arrived at Portsmouth from St. Sebastian—sailed on the 17th inst.—at which period no fur ther operations had taken place. The retreat of the British Legion was conducted with great tact, and with little loss on the part of the legion. The Glasgow brings home Brigadier General Evans, brother to the Commander-in-Chief, and se veral other officers. It now appears that General Bernelle was to have made a movement in support of the attack on Fontarabia ; but on the eve of its taking place, he received or ders from Cordova not to advance. A private letter has been received from St. Sebastian, stating that a mutiny took place in one of the British regi ments (15th), demanding their pay, better rations, and new clothing. Four men of the regiment were ordered out by their commanding officer to ascertain their grievances, when, it is stated, the above demand was complied with. Consols may be quoted at present 91. Exchequer Bills, 9 10 ; India Bonds, 1 dis. to 1 prem. ; Bank Stock, 2124 ; India Stock, 2584. In the Foreign Market, the Spanish Active continues very heavy ; Spanish Active, 47i- i; Passive, ni t ; Deferred, 16i; Portuguese, 781 78; Three per Cents., 48 ; Colum bian, 29 ; Dutch, 558. Consols for the Account, 91: THREE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 20. We have had a very good demand for Cotton to-day.—Sales 7 to 8,000 bags, all to the trade, at full prices. The relative sagacity of the rhinocer os an d th e . elephant in the Zoological Gardens was well shown soon after they took possession of the house from which they are now excluded. The rhinoceros was one day observed pushing his straw to the side of his apartment within reach of the ele phant's trunk, who protruded that organ round the end of the partition, and from time to time bore off the litter. Trunkful after trunkful was abstracted, but still the rhinoceros continued to push the straw towards the place where it disappeared. The twinkle in the elephant's eye, as he enriched his own bed at the expense of his simple neighbour was very perceptible. There is now living at St. Mary's, Lower Maryland, a lady, named Mary M'Gilliver, at the age of 105 years. Her mental faculties arc unimpaired ; she is in capital health and spirits, rides on horseback as dexterously as a trooper, laces her own corsets, curls her own hair, attends toilet punctually, takes her food kindly, and is as willing to be married as she was about ninety years ago, provided she could be sure of a steady husband. _ Prince Talleyrand is still at Valencay. The error of the Frankfort journals, in stating that he had arrived in that city, probably arose from Baron Talleyrand having passed through Frankfort on his return from Sweden. —Paris Paper. We are happy in having the opportunity of stating, that at the Levee on Wednesday week, Lord Nugent had the honour of kissing the King's hand, on receiving his Majesty's leave to wear, as a decoration, a splendid medal and chain, voted to his Lordship by the Senate of the lonian States, in token of their . gratitude for the conduct and success of his administration in those islands. Such a token of gratitude, and from such a body, to a Nobleman who is out of office, and has, in consequence, no favours to confer, is beyond all price, and must be extremely gratifying to the Noble Lord, after the obloquy which disappointed and interested individuals have attempted to cast upon him. COURT CIRCULAR. Prince George of Cambridge left town yesterday morning" for Hanover. His Royal Highness left Cambridge House, at half-past ten o'clock, for Deptford, where he embarked. A deputation of Scotch Members of Parliament, inclu ding Sir Andrew Leith Hay, lion. Captain Gordon, Hon.

In the month of Septem ber her Ladyship will visit Vienna, to stay some time at the hotel of the British Ambassador, the Right Hon. Sir Frederick- Lamb, brother to the Countess. The Earl and Countess of Jersey are packing up for a Continental tour ; they are not expected, however, to be* absent than three months. Sir Thomas Cullum, Bart., of Hardwick House, Essex, added last week to his large estates in that county by the purchase of Soham Lodge, at the price of 12,4001. The. Knoddiston Hall estate was bought in for 32,0001. ON DlT.—That the Master of the Rolls retires with a peerage on a pension, Mr. O'Loghlen to be :Master of the Rolls, Mr. Richards Att orne y-G enera l, an d Mr. Shiel Solicitor- G eneral. —Dublin Freeman. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Yesterday evening, at the mansion of Mr. Henry Thomas Hope, his brother, Mr. Adrian John Hope led to the hymeneal altar the highly Ac complished and beautiful Mademoiselle Emily Melaine !Via , " tilda Rapp, daughter of the late General Rapp, and Mrs- Drummond, of Melfort. The ceremony took place in t/es blue drawing-room, by special license. The bride wore a' Brussels lace dress, a colonnes, with short sleeves; Brusst4. 4 lace mantilla, over rich white poult de soie ; and a large square Brussels lace veil, with chaperon and mancini of orange blos— som. At nine o'clock the company sat down to a sumptuous dinner. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Tuesday, July 18, was married at Ensham Church, by the Hon. and Rev. Frederick Bertie, the Hon. John Ditton, second son of Lord Sherborne, to Lavinia Agnes, youngest daughter of the Hon. Col. Parker, of Ensham H a ll, O xon , an d b rot h er to t h e E a rl of Macclesfield. The families of Lord Sherborne, Earls DI Macclesfield and Antrim, Mr. Fane and Lady G. Bertie, were present. Shortly after the ceremony the bride and bride groom departed for Holmwoodohe seat of the Earl of Antrim, . Sir Wm. and Lady' Follett and family arrived at Brussels on Saturday. Count and Countess Schuvaloff have arrived at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, from Russia. His Excellency Count Howossilzoffinof and Admi' ral Mordwinoff, President of the Council of the Empire of Russia, who arrived on the preceding day at the British Hotel, Jermyn-street, from St. Petersburg, had a long c onference with the Russian Charge d'Affaires yesterday, at Ash burnham House. The Count, who from his position in the Administra tion is one of the Chief Ministers of the Czar, is accompanied by a Secretary, and intends to remain in England four cr five weeks ; he is also first Member of Council, next to F icld- Marshal Count Paskewitscb, for the affairs of Poland. Major-General Sir George Elder is appointed on the Staff at Madras, vice Major-General Watson ordered homt.- Kt NG'S THEATRE.—Last night, Mademoiselle Irma, a deserving actress of the Queen's Theatre, had a benefit here. The attendance was more numerous and of a better class than is usually seen on benefit nights. This is as maxi' to be attributed to the quantity and variety of performances. as to the claims which the beneficial! e has upon the support of the Opera goers. The programme was multitudinous, and contained matter enough for two, instead of one evening's performance. It commenced with I Puritani, in which, as usual, the polacca, the duet in the second act, and the cava tina in the third, were enthusiastically encored—a fate which " Tu Vedrai," sang by Rubini, after the opera, only escaped. in consequence of his previous exertions. But the principal novelty of the evening was the French piece of Marie Mignots brought forward to introduce Mademoiselle Irma to her Italian audience. This was as well, if not better, played than usual; and Laporte and Mademoiselle Irma imparted to the chief characters an interest which rendered it attractive, notwith standing that it did not commence until half-past eleven. Ia the second act, the menuet de la tour and the popular taren talla were danced. The first act of Benyouysky brought the whole to a close about day. break this morning. _ _ Sir Godfrey Vassal Webster, who died on Sunday , was only forty-seven years of age. He lived for the last fe!' years a secluded life at his seat, Battle Abbey, Sussex. 0' eldest son is in his 17th year. By advices from Naples we learn that the silk crap in Calabria and in Sicily would prove very indifferent th ° season. The price was already greatly on the advance in con' sequence. Dr. Phillips and a deputation of gentlemen con nected with the Fine Arts had an interview with the Chan cellor of th e E xc h equer yester d ay , respect i ng t h e purc h as e 0' the collection of drawings by Michael Angelo formed by the late Sir Thomas Lawrence. A short time since a sailor, calling himself the Wiltshire Youth, started on foot with the mail from Warrnily ster, and reached Devizes a quarter of an hour before it. The rain which has fallen so opportunely between the hay and corn harvests cannot fail to have the most bene; ficial effect upon cvery description of garden and agricultural produce. Another—a second accident of a fotal nature since the short period of the commencement of the works—occurre d at Duke Pit, Mount Pleasant, near this town, on Thursdai morning last. An engine-house is in the course of erection near the shaft of this pit, and the foundation sunk at conside' rable depth, the side walls being built up so far as to he even with the surface of the ground. Over these walls w.as cast a planking or scaffolding, for the convenience of the wo:krnell in crossing. A stone of more than usual size was in the act of being conveyed, on the above morning, by eight of the , masons, across the scaffolding, when one of the " needles' underneath snapped, and the stone, together with four of the workmen, went down into a very narrow corner of the founds" tion. of the building. Mr. Joseph Armstrong (an over-looker) for a great number of years in the employ of the Earl of Lonsdale, was killed on the spot, the stone having fallen cli . ; rectly upon him. Andrew Graham, Richard Wough, Daniel Daffey (an Irish labourer), were all more or less in' jured, Graham, we believe, severely. The four other indivi duals who were assisting escaped unhurt, being near the ski° wall, to which they clung. It is somewhat singular, tha!, about forty years ago, when this pit w as a t wor k, th e loss 0 1 life, and the accidents from various causes, were to such all extent, that it was ultimately abandoned. A new shaft is null being sunk close by the old one, which latter is to be used for the purpose of drawing water out, by means of an enginer several acres of ground below, it is said, bein g cov ered with one almost unbroken sheet.— Whitehaven Herald.
